For the record, the guy actually invented this with the intent of it being used to crack down on human trafficking. Traffickers often cover their victims in heavy/unusual makeup before posting pics of them online, to make them harder to detect using normal software.

oh

So basically this is a case of really shitty reporting. The article could have been about an app used to rescue victims of trafficking but they decided to flippantly make it about make-up

anyway animal rights activism will be inherently disingenuous and indeed actively harmful unless y’all recognize that 1) not every country has industrialized the consumption of meat to the extent that the west has 2) you absolutely need to prioritize human beings over animals given that basic humanity isn’t even afforded to a large fucking portion of the human population 3) your experiences are not universal and humans have been living off the land sustainably for literal millenia 4) capitalism is your enemy not poor people & people of color 5) stop fucking making slavery/holocaust anaologies. those are actual human beings. thanks

TIL after Ameila Earhart’s plane was presumed lost, all subsequent distress calls were treated as hoaxes. Recent research concluded however that half of the calls, many of which were received by amateur radio operators, were credible, indicating that she may have survived for weeks after the crash.

so yall sayin one of the most famous missing dead woman was none of those things and just being IGNORED

Them: Amelia Earhart forever disappeared in her plane crash

Amelia, on the radio: I’M STILL HERE

Them: Sometimes we can still hear her voice

when you find an academic source that’s perfect for your paper but it’s behind a pay wall

Deciding to cite it anyway base on the abstract, knowing your professor probably won’t go through and look up every source in works cited

if you guys want to read academic papers but they’re behind a paywall, get the chrome extension Unpaywall. when you visit a site that requires you pay for their journal to view the article, the extension will look for other open access sites that will show you the article for free, and it’s all completely legal. all that money goes to the publisher, the writer of the paper gets none of it. https://unpaywall.org

If you can find out an author’s name, contact them. They may be willing to email it to you.For free.

boys and men will try to convince you that humans are intrinsically selfish and egotistical because they can’t cope with the fact that women are actually taught from birth to put their community, their friends, their family, everyone on equal (sometimes even higher) footing.

male individualism is completely dependent on the emotional labour of women, and whenever you try to point this out they act like you’re denying basic human facts

The #1 thing I’m looking forward to with my master’s thesis is when my drafts will inevitably come back with “antisemitism” corrected to “anti-Semitism” and then I get to explain that Jewish scholars do things differently

I guess the most professionally academic thing to do here is find the explanation for why we spell it as one word, and then quote that as a footnote on my first use of it

Here’s the footnote I used in my most recent paper — feel free to steal it! 

“The question of whether to write “anti-Semitism” or “antisemitism” is thorny. I follow the lead of Jewish Studies scholars who argue that antisemitism refers not to a hatred of ‘Semitism’ but specifically to the hatred of Jews, and therefore should be left unhyphenated (while I acknowledge that this position is far from universal). See, e.g., Doris Bergen, “Christians, Protestants, and Christian Antisemitism in Nazi Germany,” Central European History, Vol. 27, No. 3 (1994), 329; and Gavin Langmuir, Toward a Definition of Antisemitism (University of California Press, 1996), 16-17.”

This is the reason I write it the way I do. There’s no such thing as “semitism”; antisemitism was always meant to refer to Jew-hatred.

Good explanation. The term “Semitic” comes from a late 18th century German pseudoscientific racial theory that tried to trace the lineage of different ethnic groups back to the biblical Noah’s sons (Ham, Japheth, and Shem). This is, needless to say, total horseshit. Linguists still use the term “Semitic” for the family of languages that includes Hebrew and Arabic, but aside from that, the term is not legitimately used anymore. There is not now and never has been an ethnic group calling themselves “Semites.”

The term “antisemitism” specifically was coined in 1879 by German racial theorist Wilhelm Marr as a deliberate attempt to make hatred of Jews appear rational and scientifically validated. It was never meant to refer to hatred of all so-called “Semitic” peoples, just Jews. It replaced the more usual term “Judenhass” (Jew-hate), which Marr thought sounded vulgar.

Simon Schama uses “Judeophobia” in his books except when referring to the specifically German race-theory-based phenomenon, which seems a little more precise to me. Judenhass is still probably the most accurate term.

I always thought this was just a stylistic choice, so this is really good to know!

i had no idea i thought you could write it either way and it meant the same thing. cool to know i was using it the jewish way all this time tho!
